# Connection monitor

The connection monitor checks that the access to your Redis instance works properly. If for some reason the Redis host is not reachable, either because the instance is down or there is a connectivity error between Redis and the Taskforce.sh servers, then an alert will be triggered.

This is the most critical monitor since it implies that the Redis server may be down and an action to bring it back online may be needed.

When a connection alert is in "Triggered" status, no more alerts will be triggered until the alert is acknowledged or a full day has passed. Furthermore, if the connection is not reachable, none of the other monitors will work either so it is really important to make sure the connection is back online as soon as this alert is triggered.
